T2  - Problem Solving in Older Cancer Patients
AB  - UK  national  policy  now  advocates  comprehensive  assessments  for  older  people  at  the  time  of  cancer  treatment  decision  making.1  Comprehensive  Geriatric  Assessment  (CGA)  is  a  'multidimensional  interdisciplinary  diagnostic  process  focused  on  determining  a  frail  older  person's  medical,  psychological  and  functional  capability  in  order  to  develop  a  coordinated  and  integrated  plan  for  treatment  and  long-term  follow-up'.2  CGA  involves  a  review  of  comorbidities,  geriatric  syndromes  (e.g.  frailty,  falls,  incontinence),  mental  health,  functional  difficulties  and  social  circumstances.  Although  the  term  CGA  implies  it  is  an  assessment,  it  is  in  fact  a  four-part  clinical  process  (Figure  7.1).
